Although there is no international government, and no global police agency enforces the rules, nations obey international
law. In this provocative study, Franck employs a broad range of historical, legal, sociological, anthropological, political,
and philosophical modes of analysis to unravel the mystery of what makes states and people perceive rules as legitimate. Demonstrating
that virtually all nations obey most rules nearly all of the time, Franck reveals that the more legitimate laws and institutions
appear to be, the greater is their capacity for compliance. Distilling those factors which increase the perception of legitimacy,
he shows how a community of rules can be fashioned from a system of sovereign states without creating a global leviathan

Almost since the beginning of the republic, America's rigorous separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and
judicial branches has been umpired by the federal judiciary. It may seem surprising, then, that many otherwise ordinary cases
are not decided in court even when they include allegations that the President, or Congress, has violated a law or the Constitution
itself. Most of these orphan cases are shunned by the judiciary simply because they have foreign policy aspects. In refusing
to address the issues involved, judges indicate that judicial review, like politics, should stop at the water's edge - and
foreign policy managers find it convenient to agree! Thomas Franck, however, maintains that when courts invoke the "political
question" doctrine to justify such reticence, they evade a constitutional duty. In his view, whether the government has acted
constitutionally in sending men and women to die in foreign battles is just as appropriate an issue for a court to decide
as whether property has been taken without due process. In this revisionist work, Franck proposes ways to subject the conduct
of foreign policy to the rule of law without compromising either judicial integrity or the national interest. By examining
the historical origins of the separation of powers in the American constitutional tradition, with comparative reference to
the practices of judiciaries in other federal systems, he broadens and enriches discussions of an important national issue
that has particular significance for critical debate about the "imperial presidency."

"The Empowered Self: Law and Society in the Age of Individualism examines the gradual emancipation of the individual in national
and international law and the changing social attitudes toward personal choice in constituting identity. It demonstrates that
this desire of persons for choice is not limited to Western industrial society but a historical development powered by such
independent variables as urbanization, the communications revolution, education, and economic development. Thomas Franck demonstrates
that despite resistance, we are now entering the age of the individual."--Jacket
